Do ADHD meds inhibit children’s growth?

 

Hi:

My daughter takes 20mg of Adderall and she is quite petite, which is nice for her sport, gymnastics, but a friend was telling me about their son on ritalin who stopped the medication and started to growth in height.

My daughter looks as though she is in the lower height rank amongst her classmates and I am 5'8" and my husband is 5'11".  I remember being one of the taller girls going into 5th grade which is what she would be this fall.

Any experience with this?  thanks

im currently 5.11 im in highschool as a freshman i took stratara and now im taking 200mg provigil along with about 200 meds for what stratara did to me my hight is fine if it dose affect it may be just that type of med call your doctor and ask about it
